"M" Magnum - A term commonly used to describe a rimfire or centerfire cartridge, or shotshell, that is larger, contains more shot or produces higher velocity than standard cartridges or shells of a given calibre, or gauge. Mauser founded the firm Waffenfabrik Mauser Oberndorf (later known as Mauser Werke, Oberndorf) which became Germany’s major military arsenal until their defeat in WWII, after which the factories were closed. Mauser M98 military rifles, commonly (but inaccurately) known as "Kk98s", have become commercially available in large numbers, hence the actions are popular for building sporters. www.snipercountry.com /compendium/Comp_M.htm   (1530 words)

Mauser - FirearmWiki What was to become Mauser started on July 31, 1811, when Friedrich I of Württemberg established a royal weapons factory in Oberndorf, a small town in the German Black Forest. Mauser also incorporated a new, third "safety" lug on the bolt body to protect the shooter in the event that one or more of the forward locking lugs failed. Mauser, now a subsidiary of Rheinmetall, still manufactures autocannons, such as the Mauser BK-27 revolver cannon used in the Eurofighter. firearmwiki.com /mw/index.php?title=Mauser   (2245 words)

Australian Information from Wikipedia Mauser is the common name of a German arms manufacturer, maker of a line of bolt-action rifles from the 1870s to present. South African Mausers were highly effective against the British during the Second Boer War; these proved deadly at long ranges, prompting the British to design their own Mauser inspired high velocity cartridge and rifle. The Swedish Mauser was manufactured relatively unchanged from 1896 to 1943, and m/96 Rifle and M38 Carbine rifles- known as it is by collectors as "Swedish Mausers", are often sought after by military service rifle shooters and hunters. www.thinkingaustralia.com /thinking_australia/wikipedia/default.php?title=Mauser   (3191 words)

The Mauser Action   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The longer 'Magnum' action was not really stronger than the 'standard' action but it catered for calibres with longer cases such as the.375 HandH and proved that it could cope with the big bore magnums, such as the.500 Jeffery that yields a brutal 6,015 ft-lbs (535 grainer @ 2,250 fps). The Mauser factory in Oberndorf was destroyed after the war in July 1948 and sadly their actions are no longer made, save for the imitations that followed in later years, like Bruno, Dumoulin, FN, Winchester Pre-64 and Dakota. Mauser used a square steel cross bolt instead of a round one which is more effective and a recoil shoulder is made in the in the stock. www.deerstalker.com /mauser_action.htm   (5175 words)

Mauser bolt action rifles I prefer the middle of the road sporting Mausers, especially those that were converted in the 1920's and 30's by a skilled gunsmith, although some of the newer M48 conversions are not bad. Mauser's first successful design was a single-shot, 11mm, bolt-action rifle that became the forerunner of many improved designs. A new and improved Mauser model was adopted by Spain as the 7x57mm Modelo Espanol 1893, which began the evolution of the Mauser rifle to become the most desired military arm for half a century. www.chuckhawks.com /old_mausers.htm   (4081 words)

The Magnum Mauser — RETURNS! Guns Magazine - Find Articles Mauser designed his action to be the heart of a tough, foolproof battle rifle -- a firearm that could take the worst abuse of weather and war and still come up shooting. Retained in the Roden action are some of Paul Mauser's most ingenious touches of engineering -- the "inner collar" of the front receiver ring that encircles the head of the bolt and provides the barrel seat and the extra metal behind the bolt handle that helps to stabilize the long magnum bolt. While the original Mauser Magnum action came in variety of patterns -- including the single square bridge, double square bridge, solid left receiver wall, left receiver wall with thumb cut -- the most desirable for the custom maker was the solid left wall, double square bridge, which originally appeared around 1930. findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0BQY/is_6_46/ai_62370185   (897 words)

Gunboards - Floorplate for Magnum Mauser Action   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Mauser "magnum" actions (actually "Long") are designed specifically for the 65 to 80mm length cases commonly used in British and European Express rifles (ie, 8x68S, 10,75x68,.375 H&H, 404 etc) The true Magnum Mauser Action has at least one square receiver bridge and the magazine extends half way down the bow of the trigger guard, thus it holds 3.416 for example.

rec.guns FAQ: III.C.2.m.1. Broomhandle Mauser Paul Mauser named the C96 the "Mauser Military Pistol" in the hopes that it would achieve large sales through its adoption by the Germany army or the army of one of the other major powers, but his hopes were never realized. The 7.63 Mauser cartridge was so popular in Russia, and later in the Soviet Union, that it was adopted as their standard pistol and sub-machinegun cartridge (as the "7.62 Tokarev Pistol" cartridge, and now called the 7.62x25) in the 1930's.

BeyondUnreal Forums - Bolt action rifle or semi-auto ? The Mauser, that was equipped with X4 Wild day optic, stayed as the main sniper rifle in the IDF until 1974. Because the Mauser was a bolt action rifle (with internal five rounds magazine) the snipers work back then was more or less the classic snipers work as we know it today.

K98 Mauser or Mod 4 Enfield [Archive] - THR Unlike the Mauser 98, the Enfield Cocks on Closing, this allows the rifleman to exert all of his energy in extracting the spent round, it also allows the rifleman to slam home a new round during rapid fire. Make mine Mauser, I am a perfectionist when it comes to most weapons and I find it very hard to criticise anything about the 98 Mauser because it was that well a thought out weapon. And so the Brits took the Mauser and modified it and turned it into the P14 (or I really should say the P13, it only became the P14 after it was modified to accept the.303 round). www.thehighroad.org /archive/index.php/t-1437.html   (4814 words)

Can Mauser barrels be souped up?? - www.ezboard.com Something not to overlook is that you can cut your costs of building a mauser if you can find someone in your area that already has the tools (reamers, headspace guages, action wrench, barrel vice) you get the picture. On the other hand, an M98 in 8x57 chamber, would have a larger stronger ring, better steel, much larger gas relief ports and the third "safety" lug. Build a sporter on a Mauser action, and although it my not have any great resale, it will be a better rifle than any domestic out of the box rifle, and I doubt you will want to trade it, with original barrel or rebarrel. p223.ezboard.com /fcurioandrelicfirearmsforumfrm22.showMessage?topicID=674.topic   (1277 words)

Shorthair's Swedish Mauser Conversion! Having used a 7mm Remington Magnum for the last ten deer seasons, I wanted to explore the concept of proportionality.
